The Irakleio (Greek: Σταθμός Ηρακλείου - Stathmos Irakleiou) is an ISAP train station in Irakleio, Attica, Greece, a suburb to the north of Athens. It is marked at the 19,246 km from the starting point in Piraeus.

Initially the station served the Athens–Lavrion Railway and Lavrion Square-Strofyli railway, ran by the Attica Railways.
